ABOUT JET SPRINTING

The West Coast Jet Sprint Club is based in the southern Perth suburb of Baldivis, the home of this exciting sport in Western Australia since 1995. Although modest by motorsport standards,Baldivis Jet Sprint Park is the only permanently floodlit Jet Sprint track in Australia and is held in high regard by visiting competitors from interstate, New Zealand and United States.
Jet Sprinting is very similar to rally driving except it takes place on water, on a specially designed and excavated track, and in a boat.

Track Configuration

The track consists of narrow, 5-6 metre wide, interconnected channels around islands forming a tight, challenging course in an area not much larger than a football field. Track design caters for many different course variations allowing the club to present a different challenge to competitors at each race meeting.
Each boat has a crew of two – a driver and a navigator – whose task is to complete the course in the shortest possible time in the correct sequence. That correct course sequence can involve up to 22 direction changes in less than a minute. Competitors only receive the track map a short time before racing.

Speeds up to 110km/h

The role of the navigator is to memorise the track and then indicate directions accurately to the driver who has the job of steering a four-metre long, 600-plus horsepower boat at speeds of up 110km/h.
With most Jet Sprint boats weighing only around 550 kilos, they’re capable of accelerating to 100km/h in around two seconds, making for spectacular entertainment both on water. And sometimes on land!
